Abstract:
Foliar applications of oxamyl prevented nematodes from invading roots of diploid bananas. One spray with 1,250 microg/ml was more effective than 1, 2, or 3 sprays with 625 microg/ml applied at 5-day intervals. After 3 sprays with 1,250 microg/ml, invasion may be prevented for up to 4 weeks and possibly longer. Washing roots after oxamyl treatments prevented nematicidal control. When applied to nematode-infected plants, three sprays of oxamyl decreased nematode populations in the roots.
